WASHINGTON, Dec 7 (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department on
Friday cautioned Russia and Syria against tampering with the
site of a suspected chemical attack in Syria's Aleppo last
month, adding that it had information indicating that Russian
and Syrian personnel were involved in what it called a tear gas
attack.

"We caution Russia and the regime against tampering with the
suspected attack site and urge them to secure the safety of
impartial, independent inspectors so that those responsible can
be held accountable," a State Department spokesman said in a
statement.
